This episode will feature footage, photos, and interviews of participants from nationwide events as individuals, families, and entire communities celebrate National Recovery Month, including the 2017 kickoff news conference and National Recovery Month luncheon. These community events are the cornerstone of National Recovery Month and involve educating, mentoring, and engaging others in supporting recovery. In addition, the episode will highlight the positive and affirming message realized by millions of Americans: Behavioral health is essential to health, prevention works, treatment is effective, and people recover.

Recovery Month promotes the societal benefits of prevention, treatment, and recovery for mental and substance use disorders, celebrates people in recovery, lauds the contributions of treatment and service providers, and promotes the message that recovery in all its forms is possible. Recovery Month spreads the positive message that behavioral health is essential to overall health, that prevention works, treatment is effective and people can and do recover.
